Sent to me by, you guessed it, a single guy. I liked the subtlety of the
humour, however.

You Get What You Pay For...
One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to
God, "Lord, I have a problem."
"What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.
"Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with
this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not
happy"
"Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.
"Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all
of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."
"Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a 'woman'
for you."
"What's a 'woman', Lord?"
"This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful
creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure
out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that
she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival
that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every
need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you.", replies the
heavenly voice.
"Sounds great."
"She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."
"How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?", Adam replies.
"She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, an ear, and your left
testicle."
Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his
face. Finally Adam says to God, "Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?"
The rest, as they say, is history.
